## What it is
Any-Listen is a cross-platform private music playback service that lets users play local songs and music stored on WebDAV, with desktop and self-hosted web server versions. It supports online metadata matching, lyrics, audio effects, and extensibility through an extension manager.

## Use cases
- self-host a private music streaming server on my NAS
- play music stored on WebDAV from any device
- stream my local music library over the web
- get lyrics and cover art matched automatically for my songs
- deploy a personal music player with Docker
- listen to my home music collection remotely

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted private music service for local or WebDAV files
- you need both desktop and web access to the same music library
- you want extension-based online sources and metadata matching
- you prefer Docker or Node.js deployment on your own server

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple offline desktop music player without a server
- you want a fully managed cloud music service
- you need DRM-protected streaming service integration out of the box
- you require a long-term stable release, as the project is still under active development
